Prltcbard Again Diseorges.

This notorious alleged swindler has
again come 10 grief over the weil-known
and well-worked hay fork swindle, of
which so much was said six weeks since
When the expose was first made ii was i'm
possible to tell to what extent Coulter and
Jones had worked the country, but it has
since developed that Coulter made the con-
tracts in Solano, Yolo, Butte and Colusa !;
Jones followed after, and took the unfortu
nate notes. Pritchard was not at the time
known in the body of the swindle, but it
has since transpired that he was the main
one, as he received the notes; in fact, acted
as sort of cashier for the firm. Detective
Cone was instrumental in bringing Coulter
and Jones to trial at Woodland, and would
have convicted them, but the farmers pre-
ferred their notes to the mere matter of
satisfaction of seeing the frauds in jail. A
settlement was effected. and Coulter and
Jones fled the country, and are now in Jail
in Canada. awaiting trial for the same sort
of rascality. Before they escaped Cone
found written evidence in Jones valise
fully duplicating Pritchard as the boss Of
fender, and proving copartnershlp to
exist between them. Recently Pritchard
has been found near San Diego, where he is
carrying on a real estate business on q
100 acres of land four miles from the Gus
tom-house and has taken up land on the
Mexican side, which he divides into
lots, and quit claims them to purchasers
at good figures. He is said to be fairly
coming money from Eastern tourists, who
imagine they see glorious future for Para
disc valley Two months since the de-
tective followed Pritchard, who, in order
to save prosecution, paid $500 on a
number of the fraudulent hay swindle
notes. This was thought to be the end of
the matter; but now the pinch comes in
another demand being made through the
detective force, for restitution of 81 800 due
Colusa county farmers. A dispatch Just
received states that the money mas been
paid. The farmers may feel thankful that
; Pritchard is doing lucrative land business.
1t is somewhat interesting to know that all
these swindling notes, amounting to S1S,-
500, were taken by this precious trio from
the farmers in eleven days.

Some enemies Of ours, for reasons best
known to themselves, have started a rumor
in connection with the failure of some
other stove dealers here, the past week,
that we also were financially embarrassed
This we brand as downright falsehood in
every particular. On the contrary, our
business has never, in the past twenty wears
been as prosperous as tits to-day. Further,
more, We buy all our goods for cash and

the secret of our great success. This sim

Yesterday morning the following was
issued from the Governors office:
WHEEEAs, 1t has become the custom to
celebrate. each year, the anniversary of the
admission of the State of California into
the Union. and whereas a large number of
citizens have requested, in order that all
persons may participate in the ceremonies
and festivities common to such occasions,
that such day may be set aside as a legal
holiday.
Now, therefore, |, Washington Bartlett,
Governor Of the State of California. by
virtue of the authority in me vested by the
Constitution and laws of this State, do
hereby appoint and declare Friday, the
ninth day Of September, A. D., 1887, legal
holiday.
In witness whereof. have hereunto set
my name and caused the great seal of the
State TO be hereunto affixed this the 18th

REPEATED THE TRIcK.-Sweeney, the
Haverlys' third-baseman, played the same
trick upon Moore, of the Pioneers, last
Sunday, that he did upon Robertson, of the
Atlas, in this city, several weeks ago
catching and holding him TO prevent his
making a run. All the Bay papers demand
that he be expelled from the League, and
they are right. The public extends very
liberal patronage TO baseball, and the only
way to hold continuation of this encour-
agement is by eliminating every particle of
hoodlumism and wrong-doing from the
game, making the success of the players
depend upon their merit and not upon
trickery.

The hop-growers are bestirring them
selves to procure help for the picking of
their crop, which should commence in this
section in about week The Chinese
laborers have formed a combination and
demand increased pay for picking, which
the growers do not feel able 70 give. Under
the circumstances, as quite number OF In
dians were employed in this vicinity to
gather last years crop, and worked well, it
has been considered advisable to see
whether the red men cannot be procured
to do the greater portion of the work this
season. and the railroad company has been
asked for rates of transportation for l 200 or
400 natives-bucks, squaws and young
sters-from Reno, as il is thought that
number can be secured from the vicinity
of Pyramid Lake and other localities in
Nevada. In day or two the question
whether the Indians will be called upon
VIII be settled. Last year it required about

A Unique Museum.

From the Quartet ly Review1
In the year 1876, the city of Antwerp,
aided by subvention from the State, pur-
chased the Hotel Plantin with its entire con-
tents and dependencies for 1900, 900 francs.
Large as was the price it cannot be deemed
excessive; for the Musee Plantin- -Moretus, as
it is now called, is unique among European
museums. The building forms large quad
rangle and the visitor on entering finds him
self carried back to the days of Alva and
Farnese. Through the ample, but not ex-
travagant apartments of a wealthy mer
chants dwelling, he passes into the Offices
and workshops requisite for the business of
royal printer, bookseller and publisher. Pic
lures and portraits by Rubens and other
Flemish artists decorate the walls. Engrav-
ings of singular merit and rarity hang in
profusion and fill quaint oaken presses.
Copper plates and wooden blocks-head and
tail pieces-initial letters of giant size and
dainty device-countless store of type. He
brew, Greek, Gothic, italian, Roman cast in
the days when typefounding was an art
which, like so many of its sisters, sprang into
perfection from its birth, in contempt uous
disregard for modern theories of gradual
development - matrices and punches and
printing presses all occupy the places they
filed three centuries ago. The corrector's
tables suggest the memory of the painstaking
accuracy with which not only learned men,
but young girls pored over proofs of sacred
and classic literature in the original Latin,
Greek and Hebrew. The library contains a
very large and valuable collection of impress
sions from the famous presses whose issues
were OF high, in some cases of unparalleled,
artistic merit, and many of whose slight
brochures have become rarities. The shop
recalls the days when passing student could
purchase for trife editions for which the
book hunter now sighs in vain. Yet this
enumeration embraces but title of the con-
tents of the Musee Plantin. The archives of
the firm contain thousands of documents
minutes of Plantin's entire correspondence,
as well a multitude of letters addressed to
him: account books, Gay books and ledgers;
Inventories, catalogues and price lists; records
of payment to authors and correctors, to
printers, engravers, bookbinders and work
men of every craft; deeds of conveyance,
contracts, privileges and royal warrants;
cahiers of the half-yearly fairs at Frankfort;
current accounts with sovereigns, princes
and cardinals, as well as with ordinary mer-
camille correspondents at home and abroad.
So vast is the mass of material that M.
Rooses does not exaggerate in affirming that
no similar record is in existence of the life of
any private person who lived three centuries
ago,
